Block heater question
I have an 02 with the 5.3, does any one know if there was an option for a block heater?, or more importantly, is one available now? I ordered my 96 with one, but that was with the 350. I'm not sure if the freeze plugs are the same size. I'm going on a hunting trip in northern Quebec in December and our outfitter highly recommends having one. Thanks for any info you might have.

Re: Block heater question
They make block heaters for your truck. Get some Anti-Freeze because when you knock out the casting plug you will loose a lot of fluid. You might want to find a hoist as it is hard to move fast when the fluid starts "Pouring" out on you. Simple job once you get the fluid out....

Re: Block heater question
Take a large punch and scewer the freeze plug to remove it. Smooth out the surface of the block and slide the heater in. Refill your radiator and drive off with a warmer block. Most heaters will come with directions and placement location.
P.S. Don't drive off without unplugging...... Not Pretty
